Re: user privilages for executing pg_autovacuum?

That's the reason why I ask. If a user that executes pg_autovacuum must be
owner of tables or a superuser, that it is a security problem to pass
password as plain text...
How peple solve this problem ?

Thanks,

Zlatko

Not sure exactly, you need to have permission to vacuum every table in
the database including system tables.

It logs all its activity if you set the debug option to an appropriate
level. Try -d1 or -d2.
